Bhante Jinadata's teaching

From the discussion I had with Bhante Jinadata, this is what I have learnt: We should learn to tolerate the variance and varieties of views presented by people; learn to distinguish opinion from fact, train ourselves to discern conventional reality from ultimate reality; learn to know when to accept and when to act; dhamma per se is dry and not easily acceptable so dhamma has to be spiced up with mysticisms, customs and traditions, superstitions, etc to make it functional within a socity.
